Asinine Assessment Created by Heather, Kay, and Becky
Graduation exams should not be required of high school seniors. Imagine... You've spent thirteen years working hard in school. Finally, your senior year is nearing an end. Walking across that stage, being handed your diploma consumes your thoughts. Anxiety overcomes you as you remember the graduation exam. You'll get the results tomorrow. Suddenly, the last thirteen years and all you've accomplished no longer seem to matter. Whether you will get that diploma or not ONLY depends on the results of that test. Does a test such as this truly indicate if a person is ready for high school to end and 'real life' to begin? Graduation exams should not be required of high school seniors.
